Leap Year!

It's the 29th of Feburary! A day that shifts into existence only once every four years! And... there's nothing special about it. No special events, no special celebrations, no special things that you should be able to do only on this day and no other day of the year. It's quite sad actually. I tried thinking of stuff I could do today, but the only thing that came up was that you could look at the horoscope for today, since the Greeks or Romans, whoever they were, didn't have leap years; the Gregorian calendar was only introduced in the second millenium.

Sigh. There's so much reason for something to be special, yet it isn't. Because in the end, it's just like everything else.

Well. Happy birthday to all the lucky people born on the 29th of Feb! At least today was special for you.

Because reason says I should die three years ago
